Avatar Upload Issues

There are numerous tickets in the trac and topics in the forums popping up. It seems lots of users are having issues uploading avatars with 1.1.2.

I’ve tested this on two different environments with subdomains and subdirectory installs and cannot duplicate the problem myself. However, we’re aware that it’s an issue and will keep trying to resolve it.

In the meantime, please route your avatar upload related discussion here. It will help us better monitor everyone’s experiences. Other topics regarding this issue will be locked and linked to this topic until it is resolved.

Thanks everyone for being awesome and patient and understanding. :thumbup:

basically i found a few inconsistencies with file paths in the group section – also bp-groups-templatetags.php had a bunch of wrong file paths (double // in group urls) – the image path being sent to process did not contain the fullpath to the file – it would be just wp-content/uploads/etc instead of /home/user/domain/wp-content/uploads/etc)

So I was having the problem with this on the single blog version of wordpress but not the multi user version on the same server. Then on the same server I created a brand new install of wordpress and buddypress and got it working there. I eventually found that the upload path that worked had /var/www/vhosts/url/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads but the one that did not work had just wp-content/uploads. once i changed this everything worked.

Hmmmm – sorry to pick that up again… it is strange… I am running on trunk r2638 and when a user uploads a new avatar it just seems to mess things up… The small avatars show the just uploaded image, but the bigger (for updates and in the profile) stay on the old one from earlier BP-Versions).

Can anyone help me with that strange issue???? Why is that? Any solutions?

My avatars are showing up, but the alignment is all vertical on the sidebar with no spacing . What I would love is an avatar block to show up. I’m also having the spacing issues (or lack of spacing) in my Members page.

I’m using the BuddyPress Template plugin on BuddyPress 1.2.1 for WordPress single user 2.9.2. This site is a test site for a client project and it’s pretty much the last hurdle. The website is http://workingonthisnow.com/MHA

Also This is another silly question but is there a way I can only allow links to be links within my site? So if someone is talking about a game they can only link to a page in my site that has the game they are talking about?

I have the same problem audriusme had, except that blogs.php is in the right place.

If I use Firebug to edit the <img/> tags to add “wp-content” to the @src attribute, then everything works just as it should.

I’m running on WPMU 2.9.1.1 and I just upgraded BP from 1.1.something to 1.2.1. In fact, since it wasn’t working, I also deactivated everything again and deleted BuddyPress altogether from the server and then did a manual install, just to be sure it wasn’t a problem with the upgrading process.

I’ve searched both the BuddyPress forums and the WordPress forums for hours and it seems that all the other references to group avatars is “almost” similar to my problem, but not quite the same… until I saw audriusme’s post above about the missing “wp-content” in his <img/> tags. That’s exactly my problem.

and then in “Settings >> Miscellaneous” simply kept “Store uploads in this folder” as wp-content/uploads and in “Full URL path to files” added the full url path of the uploads folder: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads
